Reborn in Hong Kong: The Tycoon Grows Up

Because the scientific research value of the paper is too high, MIT is worried that once the defense is made public, it will provide opportunities for the Soviet Union and other Warsaw Pact countries to steal. Therefore, Bao Zixuan was not asked to give a public defense. He was simply asked a few questions and then gave him an excellent score.

So far, Bao Zixuan has obtained all the credits from Oxford and MIT, and now has a double bachelor's degree from Oxford and MIT. This diploma will be recognized no matter where it goes. After all, the two schools have huge influence around the world.

Bao Zixuan extended his study abroad time in the United States, and there was nothing he could do about it. Many tasks and layouts have not yet been fully formed. Now we can only seize all the time to improve the scientific research system of Heiyun Group. Heung Kong Polytechnic still has too few talents. I believe that once the university is completed, it should be able to meet part of the demand.

Originally I only planned to study for a doctorate in computer science, but when I thought about the prospects of the future communications market. Bao Zixuan also majored in communications. Fortunately, he was quite proficient in this major in his previous life. At the same time, he is preparing to research and develop mobile phones. After all, this is a trillion-level market.

Mobile Phone was first invented by the American corporate giant Motorola. On April 3, 1973, the world's first mobile phone was born at the Motorola laboratory in Manhattan, New York. The leader of the research team was Martin Cooper. The birth of this mobile phone means the beginning of a new era.

For people to move from being closed to being open, passion and ideas alone are definitely not enough; tools are also needed. When Mobile entered China in 1987, it undoubtedly became an important tool for accelerating people's information communication and social interaction. When mobile phones first entered the mainland, they had a strange name called "Big Brother". This is actually a homonym for the name gang leader in Hong Kong and Guangdong. In gangs, the younger leader is usually called Big Brother, while the leader is naturally called "Big Brother". It is said that the mobile phone got this name because the movie star Sammo Hung was the first person in Hong Kong to own a mobile phone. When he was a director on the set, he never left his mobile phone and often used it to give orders. Sammo Hung was originally a big brother-level figure in the Hong Kong film industry, and others respectfully called him Big Brother. Because there were so many photos of him holding his mobile phone in the newspapers, the Hong Kong media simply called the mobile phone "Big Brother" and became popular. Regardless of whether this source is true or not, the message carried by the three words "Big Brother" is clear. In that era, it was a symbol of identity, status and wealth. For the Chinese people who not long ago thought that "upstairs and downstairs, electric lights and telephones" were communism, the shock it brought was inevitable. This is not only because it is expensive, but also because of the magic of high technology it displays.

According to the historical development trajectory, Motorola mobile phones would not be launched on the market until 1983. And Martin Cooper is still competing with other groups. This is a target that can be won over.

If Bao Zixuan wants to deploy on mobile phones, it will definitely be very effective to recruit Martin Cooper into the dark cloud; but it may not be that easy. And with Bao Zixuan’s understanding of the mobile phone market, he can avoid many detours in the future. Even if we enter the intelligent era, we will not fall behind.

It is Bao Zixuan's character to just do what he says. Since he has decided to make a mobile phone, he must execute it. Bao Zixuan decided to go to Chicago and the Motorola headquarters. He wanted all the technical information about mobile phones. Motorola was not as powerful as in his previous life. You must know that at the peak of his previous life, he had planned such a wild plan as the "Iridium Project". plan.

After receiving the request from Heiyun Group for mobile phone business negotiations, Motorola quickly responded. After all, Heiyun Group is now a popular fried chicken company, and many companies may not pay attention to them even if they want to find someone. Now you can actually contact Motorola, which is recognition of Motorola.

Robert Galvin is the current leader of Motorola and he is the son of Paul Galvin. It can be said that he is a real rich second generation, different from other rich second generations. Robert Calvin has demonstrated a shrewd business leadership temperament since he was a child. It was under his hands that Motorola reached its peak in his previous life.

Nowadays, the other party will definitely pay special attention to the mobile phone, and it is not practical to buy it. However, I believe Motorola would not refuse if they exchange patents with each other. After all, Heiyun has many patents that everyone is jealous of.

Robert Calvin called in Martin Cooper, the father of mobile phones, to learn about the current progress of mobile phones. He is confident about when it will be commercially available. He is confident about this product with broad future prospects. However, he is also very interested in many of the patents held by Heiyun. At this time, it depends on everyone's individual conditions.

Robert Calvin said to Martin Cooper: "Martin, how far is the research and development of mobile phones at present and when will it be commercially available? I am very confident about this product. Now Heiyun Bao Zixuan wants to discuss the mobile phone issue with us. Negotiation, so I want to hear your opinion.”

"After all, Bao Zixuan's vision is very accurate. The success of digital cameras, laptops, game consoles and other products is the best compliment to him. Now that he is interested in mobile phones, it proves that mobile phones have a bright future. It is even better than Motorola expected. Otherwise, Heiyun Group wouldn’t be able to negotiate with such a big fanfare.”

Martin Cooper: "Boss, it can only be used around the laboratory now. It will take a while before it can be commercialized. I think it will take about three years to overcome the technical difficulties. The current equipment is running very unstable and the signal coverage is very poor."

Hearing what Martin Cooper said, Robert Galvin was thinking deeply. He was thinking about how to maximize Motorola's interests in this negotiation.

After a while, Robert Calvin said: "Martin, what impact will it have on us if Black Cloud joins us?"

Martin Cooper: "Actually, it's not necessarily a bad thing to bring in the black cloud. To achieve the effect of mobile phones, you need to build a large number of base stations, which is a very expensive project. In a city like Chicago alone, we need to build more than 10 base stations. , so that the signal can be fully covered.”

"The cost of a base station is about US$300,000, not counting land use costs. If the total cost of a base station is about US$500,000, and the number of these base stations expands to the world, then our financial resources simply cannot support it. Get up. I thought about cooperating with a telephone operating company before, but if Heiyun Group joins now, it will greatly improve the entire project."

"Although they have not been established for a long time, their financial strength is stronger than Motorola. Although it does not seem like an admission, it is a generally recognized fact."

After hearing Martin Cooper's introduction, Robert Calvin had ideas and decisions in his mind. It is not a bad idea to let Heiyun enter the mobile phone market. Now the key is how much benefit it can get from Heiyun in this negotiation.

Before Bao Zixuan went to Motorola, he discussed with Larry Brown's legal team the maximum price that Heiyun could pay to obtain mobile phone technology and patent licensing. After all, if the cost is too high, the gains outweigh the losses. It is not impossible to develop new products yourself, but many patent barriers are not so easy to break.

Both sides are calculating how to obtain the maximum benefit, and it can be said that they both need each other. Bao Zixuan needs mobile phone technology and patent licensing, and Motorola hopes to get more oil from the fat piece of Heiyun Group.

Although the intentions of both parties are not pure, they all hope to promote this cooperation. This is a prerequisite and necessary condition for cooperation, and at least they are unified on this point.
